Abstract

A green light-emitting semiconductor laser using a superlattice layer wherein BP layers and Ga.sub.x Al.sub.1-x N (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1) layers are alternately stacked and each of the Ga.sub.x Al.sub.1-x N (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1) layers has a zinc blende type crystal structure, or a Ga.sub.x Al.sub.y B.sub.1-x-y N.sub.z P.sub.1-z (0.ltoreq.x, y, z.ltoreq.1) mixed crystal layers with a zinc blende type structure a first clad layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second clad layer of a second conductivity type, together constituting a double heterojunction.
